“Hands down my favorite heatonist sauce. It's got the great Classic flavor with the kick of Pepper X. What more could you want? It isn't as hot as Apollo or the Last Dab sauces in my view, but it's certainly enough to have caught me by surprise and say "woah" on my first use. Will definitely be buying again!”

“I'm a big fan of the Last Dab XXX which uses the same Pepper X peppers. Very similar flavor profile here, and the heat is definitely up there (7-8), but the consistency is a little too runny. Great flavor match for salty potatoes in any form. I use it often in my breakfast burrito gravy (butter, wheat flour, chicken stock).”

“My favorite hot sauce ,and I always have many on hand. Best tasting but not quite as hot as expected, for a pepper x product”

“This is rated to be one of the hottest sauces in the roster. The taste is FABULOUS and rich. The heat in my bottle, however, was rather mild. You can tell it is Pepper X in there. But, perhaps my bottle only came with a modest amount of it added. It was quite mild.”

“I just love that vinegary flavor of the OG Classic, and this really does taste pretty much the same. But holy crap does this knock you on your ass. My tongue was on fire for a good solid 15 minutes. Highly Recommend!”

“We've gone through a couple of bottles of the classic and love it. We ordered the garlic classic and pepper x this time around also. This pepper x edition is really good. It was much hotter than I was expecting. I use a little at a time in a lot of things. It adds a good flavor and heat. I wish that it had a small hole in the top like the original classic. I accidentally poured about a tea spoon in my ramen the other day. It was very spicy.”

“This put the last dab to shame in terms of heat for me. It lingers and lingers. I love it. I love the taste of pepper x”

“My wife is the real pepper head of our family, as I've got to take it easy on my tum nowadays. We ordered this mainly for her tastes, but it actually ended up being a favorite of mine! It's good on everything, but especially delicious on pizza and in marinade for chicken kebabs. Surprisingly easy on my tum and bum, we need another bottle or three, please bring it back!”
